Blogger Niloy murder: Probe report due June 27

A Dhaka court has ordered the probe report over the murder of blogger Niladri Chattopadhyay Niloy to be submitted by June 27.

Dhaka metropolitan magistrate Shahidul Islam set the new date because detective branch (DB) of police failed to submit the report Thursday, reports BSS.

Miscreants hacked Niloy to death in his Goran house in Dhaka on August 7, 2015.

The same day, Niloy’s wife, Ashamoni, filed a murder case with Khilgaon police station against four unidentified miscreants. Law enforcement agencies later arrested seven members of banned militant outfit Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT) in connection with the incident, reports BSS.

The seven are: Mufti A Gaffar, Mortuza Foysal Sabbir, Qawsar Hossain Sarder, Kamal Hossain Sarder, Sad Al Nahid, Masum Rana, and Torikul Islam. 

Masum Rana and Torikul Islam are currently out on bail.
